Astier de Villatte x Wes Anderson x We Do Not Work Alone
The notebook features eight letterheads, each based on a different film: The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, The Darjeeling Limited, Hotel Chevalier, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Rushmore, The French Dispatch and The Phoenician Scheme. Each design appears in sixteen sheets, totalling 128 pages.
The covers are hand-printed on old Heidelberg presses and reproduce a geometric pattern taken from Benicio del Toro’s kimono in The Phoenician Scheme. All covers are different, with each sheet inside being a different colour, giving the spine a striped, rainbow effect.
